i know lots lots med student in osu who are from cali., mostly berkeley. in fact, i only know one med student who is not from cali. lol. i think osu does accept a relatively larger proportion of out-state students.
yes, they are building a new heart hospital and a new physic research facility. columbus is really a great city. it's big enough for most of city-life you would imagine. it has many good clubs and great great restaurant. it lacks however, a prof. football/baseball team. you got the buckeye in return, what else would u need anyway? go bucks!
three tenors are coming on jan. 5th. in local theatre there is going to be a serie of broadway show include Les Mes, AIDA, 42th st., jesus christ super star, beauty and beast... lots famous show. (though it's rather rare.)
the airport is a middle size intl. airport. you basically need to fly to near-by hub such as detroit or chicago, but it means you don't need to arrive at airport 2 hours before departure, nor worries about crazy congestion in big airport.
osu campus is 4 miles north of downtown, so it's still quite in the city. i wouldn't say it has "scene" like harvard or UVa or even stanford, it's more along the line of nyu or BU. Campus is a lil too big to walk, winter is a bit too cold to live. (well, if you are from the south.)
i love their problem base program, but of course have other choices. all in all, osu is a great school to consider. this year buckeye is right now the only team in big ten conference never lost a game yet!
by the way, the new admission director of osu adcom says that, he is going to send out secondary to EVERY SINGLE applicant no matter how low ur stat is or what state u come from. he says that he think everyone deserve an equal chance. i think he just wants our $$. I am not totally sure the extend of this piece of information, just keep in mind.
